Forced Movements Facilitate Reversal Learning in Rats: Findings from a Rat Robotic Rehabilitation Model

Forced Movements Facilitate Reversal Learning in Rats: Findings from a Rat Robotic Rehabilitation Model 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)

Abstract:

To evaluate the effectiveness of robotic rehabilitation alone, we developed a robotic rehabilitation model for rats and investigated the effects of inducing forced response-like movements on learning a choice reaction time task. The rats, while in a standing position, initially press two levers with their forepaws. An air-puff stimulation (go-signal: …
